Our Work

San Francisco can be the first U.S. city to end the HIV epidemic. That's why we're expanding local services for HIV prevention and care in neighborhoods most impacted by the disease. Below, you'll find a summary of the various categories of our work. It's worth noting that as evidence mounts about the links between HIV prevention, treatment, and addressing co-factors of HIV infection like substance abuse, the lines between these categories are increasingly blurred. To find a specific program that's right for you or someone you care about, please visit our Client Services section. There you'll find a detailed description of the full range of local services we provide at no cost to our community.

Prevention: Support Groups for 1,500 African-Americans, Latinos, newly diagnosed men, and guys interested in service projects to improve our community

Care: Case management and peer advocacy services, housing assistance, and financial benefits counseling for more than 700 people living with HIV/AIDS

Needle Exchange: 2.4 million sterile syringes annually to people who inject drugs, HIV and hepatitis C testing, and referrals to drug treatment and social services

Substance Use and Mental Health: Education, counseling, and support for 600 clients via The Stonewall Project, connecting the dots between HIV, substance use, and mental health

We believe that San Francisco can be the first U.S. city to end the HIV epidemic. Every day, we provide free prevention and care services to people in hard-hit neighborhoods—and advocate for them to public officials—because we can envision the day when we beat HIV.
